The point of the brown out is to help people find cases where they’ve missed this. So “opt out by doing it beforehand” isn’t a viable solution.
The last brownout was a quarter ago. A lot of new things can get introduced in that time that still do it wrong.
- whimsicalism 5y agoSo why would it be better to learn about those things when the brownout was permanent? Seems like very short-sighted thinking.

- thayne 5y agoI think the idea is that once you know what is going on you can opt out, so that you can put fixing it on your next sprint instead of having to drop everything and fix it right now so you don't lose 24 hours of productivity.
- ghshephard 5y agoI 100% understand that - The point I'm trying to make is- the next "brown out" is permanent - so instead of 24 hours, next time you will have a permanent loss of productivity. I.E. Why are there devices being deployed that are still broken? Because in a few months, they are never coming back until they are fixed. The idea is to make brownouts increasingly painful - just letting them be a short period of time, or let people "Opt. Out" doesn't service the purpose here - which is to make it absolutely clear that the service is going away.
